BOWDOIN COLLEGE
BOWDOIN COLLEGE was incorporated by the General Court
of Massachusetts, upon the joint petition of the Association
of Ministers and the Court of Sessions of Cumberland County.
The act of incorporation was signed by Governor Samuel Adams,
June 24, 1794.
The college was named in honor of James Bowdoin, a grandson of
the Huguenot refugee, Pierre Baudouin, who fled from the religious
persecution that followed the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and,
in 1687, made a home for himself on the shores of Casco Bay, in what
is now the city of Portland. In the next generation the family name
was anglicized, and the grandson, James Bowdoin, was born in
Boston, which had become the family home, and was graduated from
Harvard College in 1745.
He was a stanch and influential supporter of the movement for
American independence, a member for many years of the Council, or
senate, of the colonial legislature, a delegate to the first Continental
Congress in Philadelphia, president of the Provincial Council, and a
close personal friend of Washington. He was also the president of
the convention which framed the Constitution of Massachusetts, and
was, subsequently, for two terms Governor of the State. In addition
to his civil honors he received honorary academic degrees from
Harvard, from the University of Pennsylvania, and from the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh ; he was a member of various foreign societies, the
first president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a
valued friend and correspondent of Benjamin Franklin.
The earliest patron of the college was the Honorable James
Bowdoin, son of the Governor. He was graduated from Harvard
College in 1771, and subsequently studied at the University of Oxford.
In President Jefferson's administration he was appointed successively
Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Spain, and Associate Minis-
7
Bowdoin College
ter at the Court of France. During his residence abroad he accumu-
lated a valuable library, a collection of paintings and drawings by old
and modern masters, a cabinet of minerals and fossils, together with
models of crystallography, all of which he bequeathed to the college.
During his lifetime he gave land, money, and apparatus to the college,
and at his death it became, by will, his residuary legatee.
Circumstances delayed the opening of the college for several years
after its incorporation ; but in 1802, a substantial brick building having
been erected for its accommodation, the first president was inaugu-
rated, and the work of instruction was begun. The college was
established, and has been maintained, under the general patronage of
the Congregational churches, but its instruction, government, and
administration are, and have always been, unsectarian. The govern-
ment of the college is vested in two concurrent Boards, the Trustees
and the Overseers, and since 1870 one-half the vacancies occurring in
the Board of Overseers have been filled from nominations by the body
of the alumni.
The Medical School dates from 1820, when it was incorporated by
the first legislature of the new State of Maine, and made a department
of Bowdoin College.
At the Commencement of 1894 the one hundredth anniversary of
the incorporation of the college was celebrated with appropriate exer-
cises, and at that time the academical, medical, and honorary graduates
numbered, together, four thousand three hundred and sixty-five ; and
another thousand was made up of those who had studied in the college
without taking a degree, and of those who were undergraduates in
that anniversary year.

ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
cSutJjecta in tofjttlj ISpamfuattons are ijeitr
Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class are examined in
the following subjects :
ENGLISH
Preparation in English has two main objects: (i) command of
correct and clear English, spoken and written ; (2) power to read
with intelligence and appreciation.
To secure the first end, training in grammar and the simpler
principles of rhetoric, and the writing of frequent compositions are
essential. The candidate must be able to spell, capitalize, and punctu-
ate correctly. He must show a practical knowledge of the essentials
of English grammar, including ordinary grammatical terminology,
inflections, syntax, the use of phrases and clauses; a thorough training
in the construction of the sentence ; and familiarity with the simpler
principles of paragraph division and structure.
40
Admission
To secure the second end, the candidate is required to read the
works named below. The list is intended to give the candidate the
opportunity of reading, under intelligent direction, a number of impor-
tant pieces of literature.
Reading and Practice. The candidate should read the works pre-
scribed below with a view to understanding and enjoying them. He
will be required to present evidence of a general knowledge of their
subject-matter, and to answer simple questions on the lives of their
authors. The form of examination will usually be the writing of a
paragraph or two on each of several topics set in the paper given the
candidate. The treatment of these topics is designed to test the
candidate's power of clear and accurate expression, and will call for
only a general knowledge of the substance of th-e books. In place of
a part or the whole of this test, the candidate may present an exercise
book, properly certified by his instructor, containing compositions or
other written work done in connection with the reading of the books.
The books for this part of the examination will be :
For 1908. — Shakespere's " Macbeth/' and " The Merchant of
Venice"; the " Sir Roger de Coverley Papers "in the Spectator;
Scott's " Ivanhoe," and " The Lady of the Lake" ; Irving's u Life of
Goldsmith"; Coleridge's " The Ancient Mariner"; Tennyson's
" Gareth and Lynette," " Lancelot and Elaine," and " The Passing
of Arthur " ; Lowell's " The Vision of Sir Launfal "; George Eliot's
" Silas Marner."
For 1909. — Shakespere's " The Merchant of Venice," and "Julius
Caesar"; Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress" (Part 1) ; the
" Sir Roger de Coverley Papers " in the Spectator ; Scott's " The
Lady of the Lake," and "Ivanhoe"; Irving's "Sketch Book";
Macaulay's " Lays of Ancient Rome " ; Tennyson's " Gareth and
Lynette," " Lancelot and Elaine," and "The Passing of Arthur";

For 1910, 191 1. — Shakespere's "The Merchant of Venice," and
"Julius Caesar"; the "Sir Roger de Coverley Papers" in the
Spectator; Franklin's "Autobiography"; Scott's "The Lady of
the Lake," and " Ivanhoe " ; Hawthorne's "The House of the Seven
Gables"; Macaulay's "Lays of Ancient Rome"; Tennyson's
" Gareth and Lynette," " Lancelot and Elaine," and " The Passing
of Arthur " ; Dickens's " A Tale of Two Cities. "

(p. 41), or will be furnished on application to the College. Candidates
may make other selections from that list provided that on or before
the first day of February preceding the examination they give notice
to the Registrar of the College of their intention to present these
books.
Study and Practice. — The candidate should read the books pre-
scribed below with the view of acquiring such knowledge of their con-
tents as will enable him to answer specific questions with accuracy
and some detail. The examination is not designed, however, to re-
quire minute drill in difficulties of verbal expressions, unimportant
allusions, and technical details.
For 1908. — Shakespere's "Julius Caesar"; Milton's "Lycidas,"
" Comus," " L' Allegro," and " II Penseroso " ; Burke's " Speech on
Conciliation with America"; Macaulay's " Essay on Addison," and

Conciliation with America," or Washington's " Farewell Address,"
and Webster's " First Bunker Hill Oration " ; Macaulay's " Life of
Johnson," or Carlyle's u Essay on Burns."
MATHEMATICS

topics : All elementary processes necessary for the solution of simul-
taneous equations of the first degree ; the statement and solution of
problems leading to these equations ; treatment of inequalities ; doc-
trine of square and cube root; theory of exponents; radicals and
imaginaries ; solution of quadratics and equations in quadratic form
by the method of completing the square, by factoring, and by a for-
mula ; discussion of the properties of quadratics ; quadratics con-
taining two unknown quantities, and the solution of problems leading
thereto ; ratio and proportion ; arithmetical and geometric progres-
sions ; binomial theorem for positive integral exponents.
42
Admission
II. Plane Geometry. The requirement in Plane Geometry in-
cludes the theorems and exercises of the ordinary school text-book;
mensuration of plane figures ; and numerical problems based on the
text. The candidate should be able to write formal demonstrations
of simple original theorems.
III. Advanced Algebra. The following subjects or their equiva-
lents : Indeterminate equations, undetermined coefficients, binomial
theorem, theory of limits, logarithmic series, solution of equations by
synthetic division with necessary theorems, and graphs of quantics,
with rational, or with not more than two irrational or imaginary roots.
IV. Solid Geometry, as represented by the ordinary college text-
books. Candidates must readily solve problems of solid mensuration
and demonstrate original theorems which may be easily deduced from
the text.
V. Plane Trigonometry as represented by the usual text-books.
Candidates must be familiar with the theory and use of six-place
logarithmic tables.
LATIN
I. Elementary Latin. The examination will be adapted to the
proficiency of those who have studied Latin in a systematic course of
five exercises a week, extending through at least three school years.
It will consist of two parts :
(a) The translation at sight of simple Latin prose and verse.
(d) A thorough examination on Cicero's second, third, and fourth
speeches against Catiline, directed to testing the candidate's mastery
of the ordinary forms, constructions, and idioms of the language ; the
test to consist, in part, of writing simple Latin prose, involving the use
of such words, constructions, and idioms only, as occur in the speeches
prescribed.
II. Advanced Latin. The examination will be adapted to the
proficiency of those who have studied Latin in a systematic course of
five exercises a week, extending through at least four school years.
It will consist of two parts :
(a) The translation at sight of passages of Latin prose and verse,
with questions on ordinary forms, constructions, and idioms, and on
prosody.
(b) The translation into Latin prose of a passage of connected
43
Bowdoin College
English narrative. The passage set for translation will be based on
some portion of the Latin prose works usually read in preparation for
college, and will be limited to the subject-matter of those works.
The examinations, except as stated in Id above, will be directed
to testing the candidate's knowledge of Latin, and his ability
to read and understand the language rather than his knowledge
of special works which he has studied. It is believed that a.
course of four years with five lessons a week covering an
amount equal to four books of Caesar, six orations of Cicero,
and six books of Virgil's JEneid, together with practice in
Latin composition and in reading at sight, will be sufficient to
give the required proficiency.
GREEK
I. Elementary Greek. The examination will be adapted to
the proficiency of those who, in addition to the course defined as suit-
able preparation for the examination in Elementary Latin, have studied
Greek in a systematic course of five exercises a week, extending
through at least two school years. It will consist of two parts :
(a) The translation at sight of passages of simple Attic prose.
(b) A thorough examination on Xenophon's " Anabasis," Book II,
directed to testing the candidate's mastery of the ordinary forms,
constructions, and idioms of the language; the test to consist, in
part, of writing simple Attic prose, involving the use of such words,
constructions, and idioms only, as occur in the portion of Xenophon
prescribed.
II. Advanced Greek. The examination will be adapted to the
proficiency of those who, in addition to the course defined as a suit-
able preparation for the examination in Advanced Latin, have studied
Greek in a systematic course of five exercises a week, extending
through at least three school years. It will consist of two parts :
(a) The translation at sight of passages of Attic prose and of
Homer, with questions on ordinary forms, constructions, and idioms,
and on prosody.
(b) The translation into Attic prose of a passage of connected
English narrative. The passage set for translation will be based on
44
Admission
some portion of the Greek prose works usually read in preparation
for college, and will be limited to the subject-matter of those works.
The examinations, except as stated in lb above, will be directed
to testing the candidate's knowledge of Greek and his ability to
read and understand the language rather than his knowledge
of special works which he has studied. It is believed that a
course of three years with five exercises a week, covering four
books of the Anabasis or their equivalent in Attic prose and
2000 verses of Homer, together with practice in prose composi-
tion and sight reading, will give the required proficiency.

Only one of these plays need be read, and the narrative style
should predominate. A good selection of reading matter for the
second year would be Andersen, Marchen, or Bilderbuch, or
Leander, Traumereien, to the extent of about forty pages. After-
ward, such a story as Das kalte Herz, or Der zerbrochene Krug;

Admission
Examinations at Preparatory Schools. Printed examina-
tion papers in certain of the subjects required for admission to college
will be furnished to the principal of any high school or academy of
good standing, having a regular college preparatory course of not less
than three years in length, for the use of such of his students as
propose to join the Freshman class at Bowdoin. In exceptional
cases, the conduct of the examinations may, on the recommendation
of the principal, be entrusted to some other person approved by the
Faculty.
The following are the subjects in which papers will be sent : I, Eng-
lish ; 2, Elementary Greek ; 3, Advanced Greek ; 4, Elementary Latin ;

14, English History; 15, American History.
On each of the above subjects, except Advanced Latin, one paper is
sent. In Advanced Latin there are two papers (Parts I and II), the
second of which consists of Latin Composition.
No papers will be sent in either Advanced Mathematics, Chemistry,
or Physics. The entrance examinations in these subjects can be
taken only at Brunswick.
In holding entrance examinations elsewhere than in Brunswick,
the following regulations are to be observed:
1. Papers are sent only in June. The dates for holding the exam-
inations this year are June 11, 12, and 13. Under no circumstances
can papers be sent at any other dates,
2. Applications for papers, addressed to the Registrar, must be
received not later than June 8 and should state the name of the
school, the subjects in which papers are desired, and the number of
students to be examined in each subject.
3. Printed examination papers, together with the requisite number
of blue-books, will be sent to the principal by express, prepaid, in time
for the examination. On the completion of the examination, the books
are to be returned at once by express, at the expense of the college.
4. The examinations are to be conducted by the principal in con-
formity with a schedule of hours fixed by the college. Copies of the
schedule can ordinarily be obtained by May 15, on application to the

Bowdoin College
Washington Academy, East Machias; at Fryeburg Academy; and
at Lincoln Academy, Newcastle, these schools having been made
special fitting schools for the college by the action of their several
Boards of Trustees, in concurrence with the Boards of Trustees and
Overseers of the college.
The entrance examinations may, if the candidate prefers, be divided
between two or more successive years, or between June and Sep-
tember of the same year. In that case a certificate will be given for
such subjects as are passed at each examination.
A report of the results of the examinations, whether at Brunswick
or elsewhere, is made to the principal, and also to the candidate,
within two weeks after Commencement.
ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE
In place of examinations, certificates will be received from prepara-
tory schools in New England which have been approved by the New
England College Entrance Certificate Board. This Board is an
association of colleges established for the purpose of receiving,
examining, and acting upon all applications of schools in New Eng-
land which ask for the privilege of certification. The associated
colleges are Amherst, Boston University, Bowdoin, Brown, Dart-
mouth, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Tufts, the University of Maine,
Wellesley, and Williams. Certificates are in all cases passed upon
by the individual college ; but students are received on certificate
from such schools only as have been approved by this Board. All
schools desiring the certificate privilege should apply before April \st
of each year to the Secretary of the Board, Professor Nathaniel F.
Davis, 159 Brown Street, Providence, R. I. Blank certificates for
admission to Bowdoin College may be had on application to the
Registrar.
The certificates, issued as the result of examinations, which are held
by the College Entrance Examination Board, will be accepted in so far
as they meet the requirements for admission to Bowdoin College.
ADVANCED STANDING
Candidates for admission to the Sophomore, Junior and Senior
classes, who do not present certificates from other colleges, are
examined in the studies already pursued by the class which they
wish to enter, equivalents being accepted for the books and authors
52

studied by the class. No one is admitted to the Senior Class after
the beginning of the second semester. Applications for admission to
advanced standing should be addressed to the Chairman of the
Recording Committee (see p. 40).
TESTIMONIALS AND CERTIFICATES
Testimonials of good moral character must in all cases be pre-
sented before tickets of admission are granted. A testimonial is
preferred from the teacher under whom the preparatory course was
completed. A student from another college, before he can be ad-
mitted, must present a certificate of honorable dismissal.
BOND
A bond for two hundred dollars, with satisfactory sureties, must
be filed with the Treasurer by every student on his admission to
college, as security for the payment of his term bills and any other
charges that may arise under the college laws. A blank form for
this purpose will be given with the ticket of admission.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Persons who give evidence of maturity, earnestness of purpose,
and adequate preparation will be allowed to pursue special studies
in connection with the regular classes, without becoming matriculated
members of the college. Applications for admission as special stu-
dents should be addressed to the Chairman of the Recording Com-
mittee (see p. 40).

topics which are most intimately connected with the practical
life, and a knowledge of which is highly important for a man
of liberal education. The subject-matter is treated from the
point of view of natural science and in close dependence upon
the results of experimental investigation. Where possible,

SELF-HELP
Bowdoin College Bulletin No. 10 furnishes some interesting facts
concerning the earnings of Bowdoin students. Of the 192 students
from whose reports that pamphlet was compiled, 167 earned a part or
all of their college expenses. The amounts reported include scholar-
ships, prizes, and the income of the vacations. These 167 men earned,
during the year 1906-7, a total of $37,709.76. The average amount
earned was $225. In the Senior Class, 20 men earned during this
year $5670.26, the average amount being $283.51. These same men
earned during their college course $18,045.99. Here are at least 20
men in a single class who, during their four years at Bowdoin College,
have earned an average of $902.34.
In the pamphlet from which these facts are taken will be found
many other concrete items, such as ways for earning money, which
will interest the prospective student obliged to support himself wholly
or in part. This pamphlet will be sent on application.

There are eleven college buildings. The spacious campus, of about
forty acres, upon which they are grouped is within five minutes' walk
of the railroad station, one mile from the Androscoggin River with its
picturesque falls, and about three miles from the shores of Casco Bay.
A central heating and lighting plant supplies steam heat and electric
light to all the buildings, which are also connected with the water and
sewerage systems of the town.
MASSACHUSETTS HALL
This hall, named for the mother state from which the college
derives its charter, was the first building erected for the uses of the
college. On the first floor are the offices of the treasurer and the
registrar of the college, and the room of the President and Faculty.
In this room are the quaint old colonial fireplace and oven as used
for a time by the family of the first president.
The second and third floors have been thrown together and con-
verted into a cabinet of natural history through the liberality of the
late Peleg Whitman Chandler, of the Class of 1834, and named the
Cleaveland Cabinet, in memory of Prosessor Parker Cleaveland. It
contains, besides other collections, the mineralogical collection which
has the special interest of having been the basis of Professor Cleave-
land's "Treatise on Mineralogy and Geology," the first systematic
treatise on mineralogy published in this country.
THE DORMITORIES
There are three dormitories, of brick and stone, each one hundred
feet by forty, and four stories in height. In the order of their erection
they are Maine Hall, named for the District (now the State) of
Maine ; Winthrop Hall, named in honor of Governor John Winthrop
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony ; and Appleton Hall, named in
honor of President Jesse Appleton, the second president of the col-
lege. Each of these dormitories contains thirty-two suites, consisting
of a sitting-room or study, a bedroom, and an ample closet. The
rooms are heated and lighted with steam and electricity from the
central station, and the dormitories are supplied with water from
the town system, and provided with toilet rooms.
94
The College Buildings
KING CHAPEL
The chapel, built of undressed granite, and named in honor of
Governor William King, the first Governor of Maine, is a Romanesque
Church, the facade of which is marked by twin towers and spires which
rise to the height of one hundred and twenty feet. The aisles and
chancel are shut off from the nave by partition walls. The nave is the
chapel proper, in which are held the daily religious exercises of the
college. There is a broad central aisle, from either side of which rise
the ranges of seats after the manner of a cathedral choir. The plat-
form, with the reading-desk, occupies the entire width of the chapel at
its eastern end, and behind it rises the rood-screen of carved and
panelled walnut, surmounted by a rood-gallery affording entrance to
an upper room in the chancel; and through this entrance is seen, from
the chapel below, an oriel window. From the walnut wainscoting on
the sides of the chapel to the clerestory windows an unbroken wall,
more than thirty feet in height, is divided by decorative frescoing
into large panels in which are mural paintings — the gifts of indi-
viduals and of college classes — representing the Annunciation, the
Adoration, the Baptism, and the Ascension, Paul preaching at
Mars Hill, the Healing at the Beautiful Gate, St. Michael and the
Dragon, Adam and Eve after the Transgression, and the Giving of
the Law. A decorated ceiling which is carried up into the roof has a
blue ground overlaid with golden stars. The music gallery is over
the entrance to the chapel, between the two towers, and contains an
organ which was a gift to the college from Oliver Crocker Stevens,
of the Class of 1876, and Mrs. Stevens.
The right aisle of the building is devoted to the uses of a psycho-
logical laboratory. The left aisle contains the rooms of the Chris-
tian Association. At the rear is a lecture room known as Banister
Hall. This room was named to commemorate the Hon. William B.
Banister of Newburyport, Mass., whose friendship and influence had
been kindly and effectually exercised in behalf of the college and the
members of whose family had contributed to its funds.
MEMORIAL HALL
This building, erected by the contributions of alumni and friends,
is a memorial to the graduates and students of the college who served
95
Bowdoin College
in the Union army or navy during the Civil War. It is a granite
structure in the French-Gothic style of architecture. On the first
floor are four recitation rooms. The memorial hall proper occupies
the whole of the second floor, and is a spacious audience room used
for exhibitions and other public exercises. Aside from its architec-
tural and decorative finish, it is notably adorned with busts and por-
traits of presidents, professors, benefactors, and distinguished graduates
of the college. The names and military rank of two hundred and
ninety Bowdoin men who fought to maintain the Union are inscribed
on bronze tablets, the gift of Thomas Hamlin Hubbard, of the
Class of 1857.
MARY FRANCES SEARLES SCIENCE BUILDING
This building was a gift to the college from Mr. Edward F. Searles,
in memory of his wife, whose name it bears. It is built of Perth
Amboy brick, with trimmings of Ohio stone, and is practically fire-
proof. It is of the Elizabethan style of architecture, one hundred
and eighty feet in length, and, with its two wings, one hundred and
five feet in depth. It is three stories in height, with a high, well-
lighted basement, and contains the college clock, which strikes the
hours and half-hours. It is designed for the use of the three depart-
ments of chemistry, physics, and biology, and contains both large and
small laboratories for each of these departments, with lecture rooms,
offices, store rooms, cabinets, a work room for the manufacture of
apparatus, a conservatory for plants, etc. It is fitted with all the
devices and conveniences which experience has found to be desirable,
and is fully adapted to the uses for which it was designed.
WALKER ART BUILDING
This building, designed for the exhibition of the art treasures of the
college, — except the portraits and busts in Memorial Hall and the
mural paintings in King Chapel, — was erected by the Misses Harriet
and Sophia Walker, of Waltham, Massachusetts, as a memorial of
their uncle, the late Theophilus Wheeler Walker. It is one hundred
feet in length by seventy-three in depth, and is surrounded on three
sides by a brick-paved terrace, about twenty-five feet in breadth, with
granite supporting walls and parapets. The materials used in the
building are Freeport granite, Indiana limestone, and brick.
The main entrance consists of a loggia, in front of which, and
supporting the wall above, are six Ionic columns of stone. Niches
in the front wall of the building on either side of the loggia contain
96
The College Buildings
bronze copies, by De Angelis of Naples, of the classical statues of
Demosthenes and Sophocles. Pedestals on either side of the ascent
to the loggia are surmounted by copies in stone of the lions of the
Loggia dei Lanzi.
The entrance from the loggia is to the Sculpture Hall, occupying the
central portion of the building, beneath a dome which rises to the
height of forty-seven feet, and furnishes light to the apartment
through a skylight at the top. The four tympana below the dome,
each twenty-six feet in width, are filled with four paintings symboliz-
ing the artistic achievements of Athens, Rome, Florence, and Venice,
executed by Messrs. John La Farge, Elihu Vedder, Abbott Thayer,
and Kenyon Cox, respectively. Casts of classical figures and groups
of statuary are exhibited in this room.
The Bowdoin, Boyd, and Sophia Wheeler Walker Galleries are
entered from three sides of the Sculpture Hall. The Bowdoin Gallery
contains chiefly the collection of about one hundred paintings, and
one hundred and fifty original drawings by old and modern masters
bequeathed to the college by Honorable James Bowdoin. The Boyd
Gallery contains the collection of paintings bequeathed by Colonel
George W. Boyd, of the Class of 1810, with others of later acquisition,
a collection of Japanese and Chinese works of art, loaned by Professor
William A. Houghton, the Virginia Dox collection of objects of
native American art, and collections given or loaned by Mr. George
W T . Hammond, Mrs. Levi C. Wade, Mr. Harold M. Sewall, Dana
Estes, and other friends of the college. The Sophia Wheeler Walker
Gallery contains specimens of ancient glass, Roman sculpture, old
Flemish tapestry, Oriental ivory carvings, miniatures, etc., with paint-
ings and drawings by modern artists of the foremost rank, and a
bronze relief portrait, by French, of Theophilus Wheeler Walker, —
all given by the Misses Walker.
The galleries are finished in oak, and are lighted from above
through large skylights. In the basement are a lecture room, a room
of Assyrian sculpture, curator's and students' rooms, lavatory, etc.
The building is open to visitors about five hours daily.
HUBBARD HALL
The recently erected library building affords convenient and ade-
quate accommodation for the College Library, and for its prospective
growth, with reading and consultation rooms, lecture and conference
rooms, administrative offices, etc. It is a gift to the college from
General Thomas Hamlin Hubbard, of the Class of 1857, and his
7 97
Bowdoin College
wife, Mrs. Sibyl Fahnestock Hubbard. It is about one hundred
and seventy feet in length, and fifty feet in depth, with a wing in the
rear, for a stack room, eighty-eight feet by forty-six. It is entirely
fire-proof, the materials used in its construction being granite, In-
diana, limestone, brick, iron, and steel. It is of the seventeenth-
century Gothic architecture, with the main entrance through a central
projecting tower, the facade being still further broken by semi-circular
projections at the ends. It is situated at the southern end of the
campus, fronting towards Massachusetts and Memorial Halls, and,
with the buildings already mentioned, completes the campus quad-
rangle.
SETH ADAMS HALL
This hall is built of brick with stone trimmings, is about one hundred
feet long by fifty wide and is three stories and a half in height. It is
named in honor of the late Seth Adams, of Boston, who contributed
generously to its erection. On the first floor is the office of the dean of
the Medical School and also two recitation rooms assigned to the use
of the academical department. The second and third floors are de-
voted exclusively to the uses of the medical department, each floor
having a large amphitheatral lecture room with an adjoining office for
the instructor. On the second floor is the laboratory of bacteriology
and pathology and the office of the college physician. The third and
fourth floors are given to the Seavey Anatomical Museum, the dis-
secting-room, and the newly completed physiological laboratory.
THE OBSERVATORY
The Astronomical Observatory, for which the college is largely
indebted to the late John J. Taylor, of Fairbury, Illinois, was mainly
designed for purposes of instruction. Although it is the smallest of
the college buildings, great care was exercised in its construction, and
it is supplied with a telescope mounted in a revolving turret, a transit
instrument, and the usual accessories for meridian observations.
THE HUBBARD GRAND-STAND
The Grand-Stand, given by Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, of the Class
of 1857, at a cost of about $35,000, provides permanent quarters for
out-of-door athletics.
98
The College Buildings
The building stands on a terrace three feet above the field level.
It is one hundred and twenty-three feet long and thirty-seven feet
wide. The walls are on a cement foundation. Below the terrace
level they are of granite, and above they are of rubble or field stone
as far as the tops of the basement windows, where there is a water
table of granite. Above the water table the walls are of selected red
brick. The frame is of steel and iron, and the roof is covered with
green slate.
The interior of the building is of fire-proof construction throughout.
The west end of the basement is occupied by the quarters for the
home teams, and consists of dressing-room, lavatory, store-room and
drying-room. The east end provides quarters for the visiting team,
also instructor's office, janitor's room and boiler-room. The base-
ment is heated by steam and lighted by electricity. The lavatories
are supplied with hot and cold water.
The grand-stand occupies the whole of the second floor. It has
a seating capacity of five hundred and eighty, with promenade eight
feet wide, in which, if necessary, extra seats can be placed. Shutters
protect the open part of the grand-stand during winter.
THE SARGENT GYMNASIUM
The gymnasium, erected in 1885, is named in honor of Dr. Dudley
Allen Sargent, of the Class of 1875, tne fi rst director under the system
of required physical exercise. It is supplied with the most approved
apparatus for gymnastic instruction, the gift of Dr. Sargent, and is
provided with bath rooms and individual lockers. A part of the base-
ment of this building and an extension in the rear are used as a
central station for generating steam heat and electricity for the heating
and lighting of all the college buildings.
A straight path through the pine grove in the rear of the campus
leads from the gymnasium a short distance to the Whittier Athletic
Field. This field, named in honor of Dr. Frank Nathaniel Whittier,
the present director of the gymnasium, who was largely instrumental
in the acquisition and preparation of it for athletic purposes, is about
five acres in extent, and is well adapted, in all respects, for baseball,
football, and track athletics.
99
Bowdoin College
The Library contains eighty-eight thousand volumes and several
hundred unbound pamphlets. It includes the private library of Hon.
James Bowdoin, received after his death in 1811, the library of the
Medical School of Maine, established in 1820, the extensive collec-
tions of the Peucinian and Athenaean Societies, added in 1880, and
valued donations received from numerous institutions and individuals
during the century of its existence. A large proportion of its con-
tents, however, has been purchased within the last two decades with
a view to aid the work of instruction, by supplying both teachers and
students with the best books and the leading periodicals in the various
departments of the curriculum.
Attention has been directed, also, towards the building up of a com-
plete and attractive library of general reference in which the literature
of the present, as well as of the past, is given its proper place, and
which shall serve as an active agent in the attainment of liberal
culture. This portion of the library, containing upwards of ten
thousand volumes, is arranged in the spacious and well-lighted room
at the east end of Hubbard Hall. The corresponding room on the
west is given to some six thousand bound volumes of magazines that
are indexed in Poole's Index to Periodical Literature, and to the
current periodicals, of which the library receives about two hundred.
Adjacent is^a special reading-room for the daily newspapers, and
another for a choice collection, not yet complete, of fine editions of
the works of the great masters of literature.
The entire collection is classified by the Decimal Classification and
is supplied with a dictionary card catalogue. The library is a de-
pository of the catalogue cards issued by the Library of Congress and
this bibliographical collection of increasing value and serviceableness
can be consulted by any investigator. Though no formal instruction
in bibliography is given, the librarian and his assistants are ready to
lend personal aid to inquirers. Moreover, through the cooperation of
the Department of Rhetoric, the librarian is enabled to meet all the
new students in groups of eight or less at required conferences of an
hour each in which the use of the card catalogue, the principles that
100
The Library-
govern the location of books, and the scope of certain common works
of reference has been set forth by practical exercises. During term
time, the library is open continuously from 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.,
and in the evening from 7 to 9.30. In vacation it is also open daily,
with the exception of Sundays and holidays. Students are allowed to
borrow three books at a time, and to retain them, if needed, four
weeks. The privileges of the library are extended to graduates and
to clergymen, also to any persons on recommendation of the Library
Committee.
Annual accessions, which average three thousand volumes, are
made to the library by means of an appropriation of the Boards for
the purpose, and from the proceeds of funds contributed by Rev.
Elias Bond, D.D., John L. Sibley, A.M., Hon. Samuel H. Ayer, Dr.
R. W. Wood, Mrs. John C. Dodge, Henry J. Furber, Esq., and
Hon. John L. Cutler. A special collection of books relating to the
Huguenots is annually increased from the income of a book fund given
by George S. Bowdoin, Esq. A similar library of rhetoric and litera-
ture has been recently established by the late Captain John C. Brown,
U. S. A., as a memorial of his father, Philip Henry Brown, Esq., of
the Class of 1851.

lateral Statement
The Medical School of Maine, established by the first legislature of
the State, was by its charter placed under the control of the Boards of
Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College, of which institution it
is the Medical Department.
Its course of instruction covers four years of eight months each.
The studies are distributed through the curriculum according to the
following schedule :
First Year : Anatomy, Embryology, Histology, Physiology,
Chemistry, and Personal Hygiene.
Second Year : Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Pathology,
Bacteriology.
Third Year : Internal Medicine, Surgery, Materia Medica and
Therapeutics, Diseases of Women, Obstetrics, Diseases of the Skin.
Fourth Year: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Materia Medica and
Therapeutics, Medical Jurisprudence, Public Hygiene, Diseases of
Women, Diseases of Children, Diseases of the Mind, Neurology,
Clinical Instruction in Diseases of the Skin, Diseases of the Genito-
urinary System, Diseases of the Eye, Diseases of the Ear, Diseases of
the Joints, Diseases of the Nose and Throat.
The students of the first and second years are instructed at Bruns-
wick, where the school has been situated since its foundation in 1820,
and where the facilities are excellent for imparting a knowledge of the
primary branches. The third and fourth year classes are taught in
Portland on account of the superior clinical advantages afforded in that
city. The building designed for the use of the school and now occu-
pied by it furnishes ample accommodations for the advanced classes.
The location of the building is on Chadwick Street, near the Maine
General Hospital, in which institution nearly all the teachers in the
school are medical or surgical officers, and the Directors of which are
in full sympathy with the purposes of the Faculty.
While the Maine General Hospital is the chief source of supply of
clinical material for the school, Portland has a number of other insti-
tutions which will contribute to the bedside instruction of the stu-
108
General Statement
dents; and the various teachers, as opportunity permits, will show
individual pupils interesting cases in their private practice.
The eighty-eighth annual course began on Thursday, the 24th of
October, 1907, and will continue eight months.
Examinations for admission to the school will be held at 9 a.m. on
Thursday, October 22, 1908, in Brunswick. Final examinations for
each class will be held in the period from June to to 24, 1908, inclusive.
Re-examinations, deferred examinations, and examinations for ad-
vanced standing for those who desire to enter the second year will
be held in Brunswick, on Friday, October 23, 1908, examination in
anatomy at 9 A.M., in physiology at 2 p.m. Re-examinations, de-
ferred examinations, and examinations for advanced standing for those
wishing to enter the third year will be held in Portland on Saturday,
October 24, 1908, examination in anatomy at 9 a.m., in physiology
at 2 p.m. Re-examinations, deferred examinations, and examinations
for those wishing to enter the fourth year will be held in Portland on
Friday and Saturday, October 23 and 24, 1908, at hours to be here-
after appointed.
At the end of the first, second and third years, students who have
passed successful examinations will receive certificates from the
Dean.
A student who fails to pass any branch at the required examination
in June may present himself for re-examination at the beginning of the
next course ; if he then fails to pass or fails to present himself, he may
be examined at the end of three weeks at the examination provided
for those who enter late. If he fails at this examination, he shall not
again be examined in that branch until the expiration of the year,
unless admitted to conditions by vote of the faculty on recommenda-
tion of the head of the department in which he has failed.
On recommendation of the head of a department, any student who
has failed on examinations as above provided in the study of that de-
partment may by vote of the faculty be allowed to enter upon the work
of the next year, but he shall not be admitted to any examination of
that year until he shall have passed a satisfactory examination in the
study or studies which he has previously failed to pass.
No student will be admitted to the privilege of conditions if he has
failed in more than two departments.
Every student who fails to maintain a satisfactory standard of work
109
Medical School of Maine
will be warned of his deficiency from time to time, before the end of
the term.
An examination which is not completed receives no consideration.
The systematic courses of instruction will begin on Monday morning,
October 26, 1908.
On arriving in Brunswick students should apply at the office of the
Dean in the medical building, enter their names, receive directions
concerning their examinations, if any are needed, pay their fees and
be advised as to boarding-places.
In Portland they should apply at the office in the medical building
for the same purposes. Dr. Charles O. Hunt will act as deputy dean.
EXPENSES

Requirements for Admission
For graduation fee (not returnable), including the parchment
diploma, $25.00. This will have been nearly paid in the examination
fees in the previous years.
Graduates of other schools, who have been engaged three years in
the regular practice of medicine, may receive a general ticket upon
presentation of their diplomas and payment of the matriculation fee.
Graduates of other schools are not eligible for a degree from this
school without attendance upon a full course of instruction imme-
diately preceding the examination for such a degree.
All fees must be paid in cash and strictly in advance.
Unfurnished rooms heated by steam can be secured in the Col-
lege dormitories at a rental of from $72 to $to8. Furnished rooms
outside the College can be obtained at a rental of from $1.50 to
$2.50 per week according to the conveniences. A sharing of the
above expenses by two students brings the cost within reasonable
limits.
The price of board is from $3.00 to $3.50 a week.
The cost of living in Portland has been found to be not in excess
of that at Brunswick.
$15 to $25 a year covers the cost of books.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
The requirements for admission correspond to the requirements
laid down by the Association of American Medical Colleges, with
the exception that one year of Chemistry is specifically required.
These requirements are as follows :
Section i. (a) A bachelor's degree from an approved college or
university.
(b) A diploma from an accredited high school, normal school, or
academy requiring for admission evidence of the completion of an
eight-year course in primary and intermediate grades, and for gradu-

science (botany, zoology; 2); physical science (chemistry, physics;
2); trigonometry (1) ; astronomy (1) ; civics (1); geology (1) ; physi-
cal geography (1) ; physiology and hygiene (1) ; political economy
(1) — not more than 3 points accepted.
(One point in any subject in a high school or academic course
demands not less than five periods per week of forty-rive minutes
each for eighteen weeks.)
(d) Certificates from reputable instructors recognized by the super-
intendents hereinafter to be mentioned, or by any state board of
medical examiners duly authorized by law, may be accepted in lieu
of any part of this examination.
Section 2. This examination will be conducted by the Superinten-
dent of Schools of Brunswick.
Section 3. A student may be allowed to enter on his medical work
conditioned in not more than six points, and these conditions must
be removed by satisfactory examination before he is allowed to enter
on the second year of his medical course.
Business colleges are not recognized.
Students from other schools who apply for advanced standing
must comply with the requirements for admission to the first year,
must give satisfactory evidence that they have completed a course or
courses of instruction, equivalent in kind and amount to that or those
in this school preceding that to which admission is sought, and must
pass examinations in all of the branches previously pursued by the
class which they wish to enter. Certificates of the passage of exami-
nations in other schools are not accepted in lieu of examinations.
Students in the Senior Class of the Academic department are
permitted to take the studies of the first year in the Medical
department and thus are eligible for the first year final Medical
examinations.
It is desired that a literal interpretation shall be placed upon
the stated requirements of the candidates for matriculation, as
hitherto there have been not infrequent examples of those who
112
Graduation
inquire if other conditions than those named will not serve in
lieu of the examination. The same consideration is asked for
the explicit condition named as regulating the pre-payment of
fees in cash.
GRADUATION
A candidate must be twenty-one years of age, and must have
devoted to his professional studies four years, including a course of
instruction in each of these years in some reputable, regular, incor-
porated medical institution ; and the last course previous to examina-
tion must have been in this school. He must present a satisfactory
certificate of good moral character from a citizen of the place in
which he resides. He must also pass a satisfactory examination in
the required studies, previously specified, and present a thesis on
some medical subject, a fair copy of which must be handed to the
Dean at least ten days before the beginning of the final examinations.
Time spent in pharmacy, in dental and veterinary institutions, and
in preparatory schools does not entitle a student to examination for
advanced standing.
A student who has received the degree of A.B., B.S., or any similar
degree after four years of study in a recognized college or technical
school, may, if his studies have included a satisfactory amount of
chemistry, physics and biology, be admitted as a second-year student ;
but when so admitted, he cannot gain third-year standing until he has
passed satisfactory examinations in the studies of the first and second
years. The faculty of this School are unanimously of the opinion that
only under most exceptional conditions should this requirement be
made available, and that practically a student ought not to enter upon
the studies of the second year until he has passed satisfactory exam-
inations in the studies of the first year.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In order to give to prospective students an idea of the facilities pre-
sented by this institution for acquiring a knowledge of the science and
art of medicine, a brief statement is here made of the scope of the
work in each department, and the methods adopted for imparting
instruction.
8 113
Medical School of Maine
Anatomy. The course in this branch extends over two years, and
covers every portion of human anatomy with special reference to its
application in the practice of medicine and surgery. The scope is so
extensive as to require a number of instructors and a division of the
work ; but an attempt is made to harmonize the various divisions and
enable students to spend their time to the best possible advantage.
In the lecture room every part of human anatomy is taken up by
systems as arranged in Gerrish's Text-Book. Some subjects are
treated by lectures and many by demonstrations, but the greater
part of the work consists of recitations and demonstration quizzes.
First-year students study embryology, histology, osteology, ar-
thrology, and visceral anatomy, including the study of the cerebro-
spinal axis and organs of the special senses. Second year work
includes the remainder of systematic anatomy and relational anatomy.
The class-room work is made valuable by the exhibition of dissected
parts, models, and casts ; and from time to time students are required
to present drawings of different organs. Considerable attention is also
paid to surface anatomy, which is studied on the living model.
During the first year, every tissue and organ is studied miscroscop-
ically in the histological laboratory and reproduced by free-hand draw-
ing. Late in the term, first-year students dissect some of the higher
vertebrates or such parts of human anatomy as are included in their
work. In this way they not only reinforce their text-book knowledge
but acquire manual dexterity invaluable to them for the dissecting-
room work of their second year.
The practical gross anatomy is taken up late in the second year
after the entire subject of anatomy has been studied by systems in
the class-room. A period of six weeks is devoted to this work, during
which time no other exercises are held for second-year men in this or
any other department, and each student is required to dissect an entire
lateral half of the human body.
At the end of the first year, students are required to pass a written
and an oral examination in the work of the year and to identify organs
and tissues that they have studied, gross and microscopic. Second-
year students must pass a written and oral examination in the work of
their year and identify the parts of the dissected human subject.
Before coming to the school, students can do much to equip them-
selves for appreciation of human anatomy by making dissections of
some lower animals, and are advised to follow the directions prescribed
114
Methods of Instruction
in " Physiology Practicums " which will be sent post-paid for one
dollar by the author, Prof. B. G. Wilder, Ithaca, N. Y.
The Anatomical Museum is well supplied with wet and dry speci-
mens, casts and models ; and a large number of disarticulated skeletons
are provided which may be borrowed by the class.
Physiology. Instruction in this department is conducted with ref-
erence to the practical application of the facts of human physiology to
the needs of the student, in his study of the diagnosis and treatment
of disease. Class-room demonstrations and experimental laboratory
teaching are employed, so far as they can be made to serve this
purpose. The instruction will be given by practical laboratory work,
text-book recitations, and supplementary lectures. The laboratory
is fully equipped with the Harvard apparatus.
The work of the first year will be devoted to study by practical
laboratory exercises, extending over half the term, of the functions of
Nutrition. Special attention will be given to the physiology of Nerve
and Muscle, of the Blood, including its microscopical study, Digestion
and the physics and other phenomena of Circulation and Respiration.
Students will be taught to demonstrate for themselves the essential
facts connected with these functions. Written reviews will be held
from time to time besides regular quizzes upon both the didactic and
laboratory work. The work of the second year will be devoted to
the study of Reproduction, the Nervous System, the Special Senses,
and Voice and Speech.
The department is well equipped with charts, models, and apparatus
for demonstration and experimental work, admirably adapted to aid
in giving students a thoroughly practical course in Physiology.
A laboratory fee of $2.00 will be charged. Students will furnish
their own instruments for nerve-muscle dissection, and will be charged
with the cost of any breakage of apparatus.
In connection with this course several hours will be devoted to the
subject of Personal Hygiene.
Chemistry. The chemical courses extend over the first two years.
They consist of lectures, conferences, and laboratory work, occupying
from three to six hours per week for each class. As a knowledge of
general inorganic chemistry is required for admission, first-year men
begin with the application of general chemistry to the qualitative
"5
Medical School of Maine
analysis of simple substances. This is followed by the principles
and practice of quantitative analysis, especially volumetric. The
examples used in analysis are selected with special reference to the
work of a physician, and include water, air and the inorganic poisons.
The analytical courses take the first half year. The second half
year with first-year men is given to general organic chemistry, in
which the structure, preparation, and relation of structure to proper-
ties are illustrated in cases of the simpler compounds. Second-year
students begin with a study of the more complex organic compounds
related to medicine, such as the synthetic coal-tar compounds, the
alkaloids, ptomains, and leucomains. This is followed by physiologi-
cal chemistry, including analysis of urine and other secretions.
The aim is to make the chemical courses as practical as possible.
To this end the student is taught to prepare many of the solutions and
test substances, as well as to use them. He is taught also how
to construct apparatus, manipulate glass tubing, etc. The facilities
afforded by the Searles Science Building make it possible to do this
to an unusual degree.
Students who have completed in other schools courses of study
equivalent to the above, may, upon examination, be excused from any
of them.
Each student is required to pay in advance a laboratory fee, cover-
ing the average cost of chemicals, gas and water. This is $4.00 for
first-year men, and $3.00 for second. In addition each will pay for
apparatus broken or not returned at the end of the term.
Obstetrics. Instruction in this department will be given by lec-
tures and recitations. The instructor in Obstetrics will demonstrate
for the class, in sections, work on the manikin ; the diagnosis of posi-
tion and presentation, the mechanism of normal labor; the manoeuvres
necessary in the delivery of abnormal cases, version and application of
forceps. Each member of the class will have a chance to perform
these various manipulations.
It is hoped that an arrangement will be made whereby the city
maternity cases will be at the disposal of the teachers, so that clinical
instruction may be given to the class in sections, and individual cases
furnished for each member.
Internal Medicine. Instruction in this department continues
throughout the third and fourth years. During the first half of the
116
Methods of Instruction
third year the time is devoted mainly to the study of Diagnosis. The
remaining weeks of the course include consideration of special dis-
eases following the order usually found in standard text-books. The
fourth year comprehends the study of such special diseases as were
not considered in the preceding year.
In connection with this department there will be given special
and additional instruction relating to the conduct of life insurance
examinations.
During both years class-room instruction is given didactically and
by means of regular recitations.
A clinic is held at the Maine General Hospital upon each Thurs-
day morning from nine to eleven o'clock ; the material being received
from the wards of the hospital and occasionally from outside sources.
Care is taken to afford the students opportunities for personal
examination of cases with the prominent object of having them become
familiar with physical signs. It is hoped that material of the City
Hospital and patients out of the hospital, under the care of the City
Physician, may be made available during the coming year.
This department recognizes with that of Surgery our special in-
debtedness to the Staff of the Portland Charitable Dispensary in that
it affords sections of our classes opportunities for clinical observation
and physical exploration.
Pathology and Bacteriology. The new, commodious, and
amply equipped laboratory in Seth Adams Hall gives excellent facili-
ties for instruction in bacteriology and pathological histology. The
course in clinical pathology is given in the laboratory at the school
building in Portland.
Instruction is given by lectures, recitations, and laboratory work.
For convenience it is divided into four courses.
i. Bacteriology. This course is given to second-year students, and
occupies fourteen hours a week from the beginning of the term until
the Christmas recess. Each student is required to cultivate on media
twelve varieties of pathogenic bacteria and to study their character-
istics. Principles of disinfection are studied, and verified by experi-
ment. A limited number of inoculation experiments are performed.
Students make bacteriological examination of water and milk. Special
attention is given to the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis, diph-
theria, and typhoid fever.
117
Medical School of Maine
2. General Pathology, including Pathological Histology. This
course is given to second-year students. Instruction occupies four-
teen hours each week, and lasts from January ist to April ist.
McFarland's text book is used as a basis for this course. The text-
book is supplemented by lectures on special subjects. As far as
possible the consideration of a subject in the class-room is followed
by a study of the same subject in the laboratory. During the latter
part of the course much time is given to diagnosis work upon micro-
scopical preparations.
3. Blood Examination. This is a short course given to second-
year students during the last week in May and the first week in June.
Students are trained in counting the red and white corpuscles, in
estimating the amount of hemoglobin, in preparing and examining
fresh and stained specimens.
4. Clinical Pathology. This course is given to third-year students.
It includes instruction given as opportunity occurs at the surgical
clinics and a fifty-hour course at the school laboratory in Portland.
In this course each student examines microscopically the tissues
and other pathological material obtained at the clinics at the Maine
General Hospital.
Surgery. The instruction in surgery is given by lectures, recita-
tions, demonstrations, clinics, diagnosis exercises on the patient, and
operations on the cadaver. It extends throughout the third and
fourth years of the course, and in the highest possible degree is
practical in character.
In the didactic course the recitation method is employed for the
most part, as being particularly helpful to the students, — necessitating
careful preparation of each lesson, allowing no essential point to be
slighted, and stimulating pride by the certainty of each that his work
will be compared with that of his fellows. But the lecture method is
used whenever it seems serviceable, as in the introduction of new
topics, the presentation of the salient features of unfamiliar subjects,
and the explanation or amplification of matters not adequately treated
in the text-book.
The students perform a large variety of operations upon the
cadaver, under the immediate direction and supervision of the
teacher. The application of bandages and other dressings is taught
in the most practical manner.
118
Methods of Instruction
The principal clinical teaching is given at the Maine General
Hospital by the six visiting surgeons, all of whom are professors,
assistant professors, or clinical instructors in the school. Twice in
each week some of these teachers hold exercises in diagnosis, in
which the students are instructed in proper methods, and privileged
to make personal examination of cases. Sections of the class are
taken in turn through the wards, and are given opportunities for the
cbservation of the after-treatment and progress of patients, upon
whom they have seen operations performed. A system of notification
by telephone enables the students to obtain prompt information of
accident cases, which are brought into the hospital. The amount
of clinical material at this institution far exceeds the capacity of the
classes to appropriate it without neglecting other and essential
studies. The surgeons of the Portland Charitable Dispensary permit
sections of the class to observe cases at their daily service — a privi-
lege highly valued and constantly accepted, as the kind of diseases is
largely different from those usually seen at the hospital. The City
Hospital, also, occasionally presents interesting and useful material.
Materia Medica and Therapeutics. Instruction in this de-
partment is given during the third and fourth years.
In the third year the teaching is by lectures and quizzes. Special
attention is given to the study of pharmacology, or the action of
drugs, as it is only by a thorough knowledge of this part of the
subject that medicines can be properly employed for the correction of
the abnormal conditions found in disease.
Considerable time, every week, is devoted to prescription writing.
By this exercise, students not only learn to write prescriptions cor-
rectly, but to make application of their knowledge of drugs in the
treatment of disease. They are required to prescribe for supposed
patients, a description of whose symptoms has been given them.
These prescriptions are put before the class for criticism and discus-
sion, and have proved very useful in making their knowledge of drugs
definite and practical.
In the fourth year the lectures and quizzes will be continued, and
there will also be a recitation course in practical therapeutics. These
courses supplement each other. In the course in Materia Medica
individual drugs are studied, and their modification of certain con-

THE LIBRARY
The Library of the Medical School, containing 3,700 volumes, has
been combined with that of the College. Both collections, numbering
together 88,000 volumes, are under the same administration and are
at the service of the medical students. The more recently published
medical works and current numbers of professional journals are kept in
a separate room in the main library building for the especial use of
these students. It is not the policy of the school to furnish text-books
through its library, or to buy largely in medical literature ; yet, by means
of the catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon General's Office and the
system of inter-library loans, the librarian is able to procure for use
in serious investigation almost any book that may be desired.
